Chapter 60: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

"What about the chickens I put on the balcony, and the enema, why are they missing?" As soon as Zhang Xin and Zhang Ran came home, they heard Sun Cuihua walking back and forth in the house, and when they saw Zhang Xin and Zhang Ran coming back, they hurriedly stuffed a stick in their hands.

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Xin, you can help me find it, our family may have entered the mouse, the chicken I put on the balcony and some meat or something are gone, I think our family may be a mouse." Looking at Sun Cuihua's serious expression, Zhang Xin and Zhang Ran smiled back and forth.

"Mother, how big a mouse must be to drag a chicken away." Zhang Ran bent down with a smile and wiped the tears of laughter with his hand.

"That's right, hey, who took it, I'm really sad." Sun Cuihua stood on the broom on the door, her hands on her hips.

"Mother, this, it was taken by this big mouse." Zhang Ran pointed at Zhang Xin, and Zhang Xin hurriedly rubbed to Sun Cuihua's side and helped her sit down.

Sun Cuihua was confused, and called out to Zhang Guowei and Mrs. Zhang, who were looking for rats in other rooms.

"Mother, father, child and father, don't look for it, come over quickly." Zhang Guowei rubbed his hands and walked out of the bedroom.

"Found the mouse?"

"Your big Nier said she took it!" Old man Zhang and Mrs. Zhang also came out one after another, sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the family sat neatly, listening to the "house thief" explain the purpose and motive of the crime.

Under the watchful eyes of the family, Zhang Xin told them in detail about the situation when he met Lin Mei and the situation at Lin Mei's house just now, and when it came to the important places, Zhang Ran also added from time to time before finally explaining the reason.

"These two children are really pitiful, their father is gone, and there is only one mother left, alas, it's really pitiful." Sun Cuihua shook her head, "You said that this can make their mothers live." ”

Zhang Guowei took out another pack of cigarettes from the table and was about to light them. "Still smoking, still smoking, it wasn't you who coughed two days ago, and you didn't help you think of a way." When Sun Cuihua heard what happened to the Lin Mei sisters, she was sad, and Zhang Guowei just hit the muzzle of the gun.

"What are you doing to me, I'm just an ordinary worker, what can I do, if I open a factory, I can find a job for that Xiaomei and her mother, the problem is that I can't do it." Zhang Guowei put down the cigarette.

"Hey, we don't have a factory, we do have a restaurant." Zhang Ran was inspired by Zhang Guowei's words.

"Actually, I have this intention, let Aunt Zhao go to our mother's restaurant to work, so it is much easier than getting up early every day to pick up garbage and buy vegetables, I have never been embarrassed to say." Zhang Xin saw that Zhang Ran had already mentioned the restaurant, so he simply said his thoughts.

"What's embarrassing about this, let's help if we can, and besides, our restaurant really needs someone to help, so it's just right for Xiaomei to come." What Zhang Xin didn't expect was that Sun Cuihua readily agreed.

"Really, mother, you are really good."

"Alas, when everyone is in trouble, we can help if we can, after all, our family also came from that time, now think about the cold wind in the bridge hole, I am shivering, we came over when it was so difficult, and now the situation is better, we have to help others."

Sun Cuihua has always been a straight person, she has always said whatever she wants, and the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, the old man Zhang and Mrs. Zhang heard Sun Cuihua's words, and her face was a little ugly.

"Oops, it's all over, what are you talking about it for?" Zhang Xin noticed that something was faintly wrong, so he hurriedly played the round field and glanced at Sun Cuihua.

"Yes, yes, it's all gone, it's all gone, what are you talking about it. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, now that things are settled, we should be happy, let's quickly clean up and have a big dinner in the evening. Sun Cuihua hurriedly walked into the kitchen and finished the rest of the dishes.

In the evening, Zhang Guowei hung a red lantern at the staircase, and Zhang Xin and Zhang Ran wore sweaters knitted by Sun Cuihua to bring Sun Cuihua's busy meals to the table.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, we have been busy for another year, this year, our family has bought a big house, the business in the restaurant is getting better and better, and the most important thing is that our family has a college student, a reader, this is the happiest thing, in short, those hard days before have passed, we all have to live a prosperous life."

As the head of the family, Zhang Guowei raised his glass to summarize the situation of the year.

When Zhang Guowei sat down, Mrs. Zhang picked up the wine glass and stood up silently.

"Cuihua, Guowei. My wife continues this day today, and I will say a few heart-wrenching words to you, we are really sorry for you, and you have caused so many sins, and in the end you are so kind to take me and the old man in. Mrs. Zhang's hand holding the cup trembled terribly.

"Cuihua, I have always disliked that you gave birth to female babies, I always think that the female baby is someone else's family after that, so I beat and scolded you, now I think of it is called a regret, but you have educated two good children. It was all wrong with us before, but today I officially compensate your family, and I hope you can forgive me for this old woman. “

After speaking, Mrs. Zhang bowed to Sun Cuihua.

"Mother, what are you doing here, how can there be right or wrong in the family." Sun Cuihua hurriedly walked over and helped Mrs. Zhang up.

"In the future, our family will be good and work together, so that we can live a good life." Sun Cuihua raised her wine glass and drank it all.

Zhang Xin looked at the familiar and close faces, the plates of sumptuous dishes on the table, and the indescribable joy in his heart, in the days to come, he must work harder so as not to live up to this opportunity for his rebirth.

The southern courtyard was hazy, and the Lin family was busy for today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and plates of exquisite meals were served on the table, and the Lin family attached great importance to this major festival.

Although it was a very festive day, there were only four people at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table. Jeremy Jiang walked to the table step by step with a cane, and Lynch Zhou Ren and Zhang Yan stood at the table, and when Jeremy Lin sat down, they sat down one after another.

Compared with the lively scene in Zhang Xin's house, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of Lynch's family is like a scene of ordinary eating, there is no summary of the past year, no blessings for the future, everyone eats with their own hearts.

Lynch had thought about it before, he and Zhang Xin's family environment is different, the things they like are different, the concepts are sometimes different, why do they still like her, is it just because they like her stubborn character, now it seems that what he likes, as well as the smell of fireworks on Zhang Xin's body, Zhang Xin's petty fights with his parents, and the bravery of fighting his life to maintain the happiness of the whole family, are all things that Lynch does not have.

Lynch chewed the food on the table, feeling that although the dishes on the table were all delicacies from the mountains and seas, they always lacked a taste, which he could only eat in Zhang Xin's restaurant.

"Xiaoqi, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't you want to say something?" Jeremy Lin looked at Lynch, who had been eating with his head bored, and tried to talk to him.

Since the two broke up unhappily on the day Lynch just came back that day, Lynch has been pulled out by Zhou Ren for the past few days, just reading books in the room, trying to minimize the chance of meeting with Old Man Lin.

"There's nothing to say, this year is just teaching in the school, and then engaging in scientific research, nothing special." Lynch sandwiched a shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth.

"This shrimp dumpling was your favorite when you were a child, and yesterday your grandfather specially ordered the people in the kitchen to make it." Zhang Yan tried to ease the relationship between the two of them.

"Well, it's delicious. You taste it too. Lynch sandwiched one and put it in Zhou Ren's bowl.

Hearing Lynch say that he likes to eat shrimp dumplings, the corners of Jeremy Lin's mouth raised imperceptibly.

"Uncle Zhang, you also hurry up and sit down to eat, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten together as a family." Lynch looked at Uncle Zhang behind him and beckoned him to sit down and eat together.

"This." Uncle Zhang's face was embarrassed, and he looked at Zhang Yan and Old Man Lin hesitantly.

Zhang Yan avoided Uncle Zhang's eyes, her face was a little unnatural, and she lowered her head.

"Sit down and eat together." Old Man Lin gave a look and motioned for Uncle Zhang to sit down.

Uncle Zhang 31 moved a chair and sat down against Zhang Yan.

"Xiaoqi, you are 30 years old this year." As if he had thought of something, Old Man Lin put down his chopsticks and looked at the only precious grandson in front of him with a sideways face.
